Is there an ‘iPooch’ in your dog’s future?
Wired reports that with pet ownership on the rise, gadget makers
are releasing techno-bling marketed just for canines. Among some of
the hot doggy doodads: a two-way cell phone enabling owner-doggy
‘conversations;’ a collar-attached camera that takes
pictures at pet-level; a dog-centric PDA to track playdates and vet
appointments; and a food dish with built-in alarm notifying your
faithful friend when dinner’s ready. That’s all well
and good, but could no one come up with a Roomba-like automatic
pooper-scooper?
